The carrier transport in the benzodithiophene (BDT)-dimer films plays significant role for high carrier mobility of BDT-dimer field-effect transistors (FETs) using very thin pentacene layers as crystallinity control layers (CCLs). When the grains of the BDT-dimer films are small, the carrier mobility is not only low but also depends on the average thickness of the pentacene-CCLs. However, it is independent from the thickness of the CCLs when the grain size of the BDT-dimer films is large enough, and becomes as high as 0.76 cm2 V-1 s-1. This result shows that the high carrier mobility of pentacene-CCL/BDT-dimer FETs is due to the carrier transport in the BDT-dimer films.

We have investigated contact and channel resistances of organic field-effect transistors (FETs) based on benzodithiophene (BDT)-dimer films deposited on thin pentacene layers used as crystallinity control layers (CCLs). The contact resistance of source/drain electrodes made of conductive organic...

The equivalent circuit parameters for a pentacene organic field-effect transistor are determined from low frequency impedance measurements in the dark as well as under light illumination. The source-drain channel impedance parameters are obtained from Bode plot analysis and the deviations at low...

In this paper we report on the realization of flexible all-organic ambipolar field-effect transistors (FETs) realized on unconventional substrates, such as plastic films and textile yarns. A double layer pentacene-C60 heterojunction was used as the semiconductor layer. The contacts were made...

The field effect in pentacene thin-film transistors was studied using bottom-contact devices with channel lengths below 10 nm. To suppress spreading current in these devices, which have a small channel width-to-length (W-L) ratio, we employed a pair of guarding electrodes as close as 20 nm to...

In this letter we report the use of roughly polished aluminum substrates with spin-coated polymer-smoothing layers for the fabrication of pentacene field-effect transistors. Transistors with spin-coated poly(methylmethacrylate) gate insulator layers were fabricated and showed good performance....

We report the characterization of field-effect transistors fabricated within individual grains of single and double pentacene layers grown on silicon oxide. Field-effect mobilities are found to increase with increasing gate voltage and exhibit a thermally activated form for the temperature...
